Shurmur, Heckert to be fired tomorrow

[LVGaryD]

Browns coach Pat Shurmur and general manager Tom Heckert are expected to be fired tomorrow after the Browns loss to the Steelers. New owner Jimmy Haslam and his right hand man CEO Joe Banner are expected to officially name Bill Cowher head coach as early as next Friday.

Cowher and Haslam have been close friends since Cowher's head coaching days at Pittsburgh.

And then you woke up. Yeah they both will be fired, but Cowher isn't going there

[LVGaryD]

  Got that off a Steelers' site.

Here is a real report for ya




The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that the decision has already been made to fire Browns coach Pat Shurmur and GM Tom Heckert following Sunday's game against the Steelers.
New owner Jimmy Haslam vowed to make his decision on the fates of Shurmur and Heckert shortly after the season, and it's been widely assumed that both would be fired. It's not yet known if any members of the coaching staff or front office will remain, but a house cleaning is likely in order. The Browns are expected to immediately begin their search for their next general manager, and have been linked to NFL Network's Michael Lombardi and 49ers director of player personnel Tom Gamble. The Plain Dealer also speculates that Chiefs GM Scott Pioli could be a candidate should he become available.

The Plain Dealer probably relies on places like In The Sulky forum for their top news sources. Matter of fact, they will likely see this in the next day or two and report it like they found the Cowher story.

Reid leaves tomorrow.
Hopefully he takes Vick and Desean Jackson with him.

I am hearing it will be the ORegan head coach for the Eagles.

I too would love a Cowher or Gruden type in philly though.

   There's not a chance in hell Cowher would ever take the Browns head coaching job !!!!!

Andy Reid will win a Super Bowl before the Eagles do.

Reid will not be unemployed for long

[The Giss]

Bruce Arians will be named as Shurmur's replacement, probabloy by the end of the week.
Big mistake dumping Heckert. If they bring in Lombardi, as rumored, Haslam will lose any good will he has generated.

I believe that Ollie Regan is not interested! 

Don't be surprised if Nick Saban takes another stab at an NFL Head Coaching job.  I think he'll have many offers.  Hopefully, he would go to Philly who'd continue their downward spiral & the fans would boo him back to the SEC.

I doubt Cowher or Gruden would go anywhere near Cleveland.  Gruden is not interested in Weeden.  I thought if he were coming back to coaching it would've been this year, in Indy to get his hands on Andrew Luck.  He likes developing young QBs so it's not impossible that he could end up in Philly, IMO.

I wish Andy Reid the best in a place where he is appreciated.  I hope Michael Vick goes to Cleveland & they chew him up in the Dog Pound!
